3 minute walk to Beach! Dog and Family Friendly, Bright & Modern House

Great place to stay if visiting Rockaway Beach, The beach is in easy walking distance.

Nice well maintained house with a great deck. Closer to a 10 minute walk to the beach on the other side of the train tracks.

This place is beautiful, quiet and well located. It’s close to the beach and the main Rockaway Beach boardwalk, yet isolated enough for a quiet peaceful stay. The place was clean, welcoming, well stocked with amenities. And my wife and I who are both pretty terrible sleepers were obsessed with the pillows. We ended up looking them up hoping to buy some for our home. No luck.

We love this house. We came back to the duck pond this summer for the third year in a row. The unit is very clean, secluded, and only two blocks from the beach. It sleeps my wife and I and our four kids comfortably. Also, rockaway is a great jump off point for All things on the northern Oregon coast. Will definitely come back.

The house is great, and location was great - short walk to the beach and the main strip. I gave the house 5 stars overall but one thing that was mentioned by one of the guests is that non-slip mats need to be in the tubs or available. The only other issue was that the sofa was not comfortable at all... but we were out and about so weren't using it much.

Stayed here for the second year in a row. The house is immaculate, very private and accommodated my wife and I and four kids really well. Very good beach access and rockaway is a great jump off point for the rest of the north coast area. This house has gotten more expensive unfortunately and this is the only downside.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place! It was perfect distance from the beach for easy walking. Dog friendly as well!

We loved the location - the deck and layout was amazing. Could use a fire pit or gas grill just to add to the house. Only tiny issues was dishes needed washed again prior to use.

My wife and I and our four kiddos stayed here for a week. The owner was very responsive to emails and phone calls and responded to all questions within an hour. The property was spotlessly clean and well-decorated. It had lots of games, puzzles, beach toys, etc. The beach was even closer than we thought and only took about 3 minutes to walk to. Compared to many of the other towns on the coast, Rockaway is quiet and there were times midweek when it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. This was a fantastic jump-off point to get to Cannon Beach, Depoe Bay, Manzanita, and all the places we wanted to visit while we were here. The back deck is incredibly spacious and opens up on a wetland with birds singing every morning. Given the wetland environment, I think I expected more bugs but we didn't get a single mosquito bite. You can't see any houses from the back deck and it felt like we were in the middle of a nature preserve. Very cool. Overall we had a fantastic week and will try to come back here next summer.

Spacious place

We had an excellent stay at Duck Pond. The house was decorated super cute and is just as pictured on the inside. It is spacious and has everything you could think of. It was very well cleaned when we arrived. It is close to the beach- an easy walk across the highway (not busy at all and easy to cross with the crosswalk). It takes about 10 minutes to stroll there. It is walking distance to everything in Rockaway which was great! And the Oregon coast is just so beautiful. We had never been to the Oregon coast before and didn’t know what to expect. Rockaway is much quieter and smaller than Cannon and Seaside where we were originally going to stay and we liked that! It’s a short 30-45 min drive to those towns and we enjoyed our days there but it was nice to get back to the relaxed vibe of Rockaway. The only bummer was the house being built right next to ours. It took away from the serene scene we were hoping for when we arrived But, we befriended the owner and workers and they were very nice. They stopped working at 5 and were respectful of noise at night, so that was good! They did not work on the weekend. We took our teenage son and his friend for their graduation present and had a great time playing poker and monopoly (all games at the house). The beds were comfy and the porch was huge! The frogs started croaking at night and it was fun to listen to them. Don’t hesitate to rent this house. You will love it and the construction will probably be over by then!
